Thursday July 4th, 2013:
Ahh here goes my second post; I genuinely never thought I would wait this long to post again, but whatever. Today is a beautiful for so many reasons. First of all, it is literally beautiful. Clear, blue skies and 84ยบ of pure heaven make it seems as if we are living in one of Bob Ross's paintings (let it happen!). Aside from the aesthetic magnificence of the day, I am loving the fact that I do not have work until tomorrow! My ridiculous coworkers have been complaining about how having Thursday off is screwing with their heads and how they're excited that next year the fourth will fall on a Friday. I think they are all fools. I only had to work three days, then got a whole day off, then have one more day of work, then weekend! I honestly couldn't envision a more perfect week, or at least one in which I still make a lump sum of cash while not having to work very much. I suppose that if you possess a thriving and blossoming social life (I do not), you would prefer the three day weekend for shenanigans and what-have-you. Thankfully, I am just here with my family and plants, so I can relish in the glory of this wondrous week!
By far, the most momentous event of the day has to be that my lovely garden has yielded me ripe cherry tomatoes! They're so cute and tiny and perfect! I may not be a parent (thank god), but I assume that this is what having children feels like. Of course, most parents don't intend to eat their progeny in a salad later that evening, but those are just details......Everything is growing perfectly and I just can't wait for the rest of my plants to supply me with more delicious noms!
As of right now, I only have to wait another 5 days, 6 hours, and 32 minutes before I have the pleasure of being reunited with my southern belle, Marissa. For those of you who are unaware, Marissa is one of the few people with a social life as boring and uneventful as mine. For that reason, we have formed a symbiotic relationship in which each of us makes the other feel better about his or her monotonous life. I am basically overflowing with joy because in addition to seeing my favorite Texan, the two of us are going to see the Phantom of the Opera! I've never seen this show yet (what?!), but because I'm a normal human, I am familiar with the soundtrack. I don't know how I'll make it through to next week! [On a side note, whenever I say POTO in my head, I do it in the style of an old British lady (like how she says it in this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oZDcSrODALQ. I'm not sure why, but it just makes everything better.]
I think I'm going to stop writing because I wouldn't want to bore you, even though I always have more to say. Enjoy the latest snaps of my gaahhhden! I've included never-before-seen footage of my eggplant! SO EXCITING and a little droopy! Have a glorious and American Fourth of July!
